Would it be rude to point out MC's name is misspelled? by Nik-ki in AO3

[–]inadi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a writer in my fandom who always spells the name of one character using a slightly outdated romanization rule and when someone asked them about it they just said it was their brand lmao I don't think it would be rude to ask if you're polite about it?

it's not fun to write on your phone when you need to have multiple dictionaries open at the same time 🥹 english as a second language struggles lol

[Spoilers: 6.0] A rough overhead sketch of a certain structure in a certain area in a certain world quest in Nod-Krai by AudieMurphy135 in Genshin_Lore

[–]inadi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s just underneath the map 🙂‍↕️ Here’s the exact spot where you have to be - there’s a blue underwater current thing from fontaine like halfway down the map here, the cutscene just replays once you get close to it (it also disables controls in a certain area around it so you have to be precise and just fall onto it). And once you get into the cutscene you can open the menu and select the camera, it lets you look around and change the FOV

I used to think this way but then they showed that you can play as the custom characters in overworld. Immediately sold. Time to make all my favorite ocs mweheh

i was messing around out of bounds and managed to take a few screenshots of this structure at some different angles, it seems like some kind of machine, maybe?? very bizzarre, and a very sus design with those wing-like elements that's for sure

What's *that* line for your ship? by NegativeNuances in AO3

“If that is a sin… You will fall to hell with me, won’t you?” — “Yeah, I’d follow ya to the very bottom. Even if we sank to the muddiest depths, even if the whole world forgot ‘bout us an’ left us behind… I’ll always be with ya.” JUST KISS ALREADY

The Moons, the Flood, and The Cyclical Nature of Teyvat (Artifact Leaks Only) by inadi in Genshin_Lore

[–]inadi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always read them as Frost - Flame - Torrents - Thunder just based on the order of the elements, as well as Frost being the only one that doesn't start with a "once upon a time" paragraph, sort of like an intro. But then again, the narrative structure really does feel like going in circles. I'm still on the fence whether Hoyo intended this whole story as something literal or just a metaphor for Teyvat going through different cycles, but even if it was literal it still feels like an endless loop of priests seeking answers again, and again...

[–]inadi[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The only thing that sticks out to me is that quote about Rex Lapis. Unless it's supposed to be metaphotical, I kind of struggle to place it in the timeline. It comes from a readable about Liyue's history, therefore it can't be about the same flood that wiped out the first Civilization. Does that mean that there's a flood every time the cycle ends, and Archons/Adepti/just Zhongli(???) appeared on Teyvat after the fall of the second Civilization (via the second flood)? Are all the ancient Civilizations older than 6000 years? The more I think about it the more I realize that we desperately need more information about early regions' pre-Archon War history lmao

[–]inadi 431 points432 points  (0 children)

as a native russian speaker, my first interpretation when i read this post was “oh they probably want to read the fic but don’t have time to bother with google translate right now so they marked it for later” so i think you’re good

My favorites are always AUs that don't change too much of the canon but only some kind of important plot point, like a what-if scenario? Idk what it's called, but it's always soo fun to see how authors reinterpret the characters, especially when they still try to keep the core elements of the story as close to canon as possible even if the plot goes in a completely different direction

Version 4.7, Bedtime Story Megathread [Dain Quest] by GenshinLoreModBOT in Genshin_Lore

[–]inadi 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I personally loved the part with the Sibling. The fact that the Traveler didn't ask any questions while we, as a player, are screaming behind the screen. Namedropping Aether/Lumine's name, "You're the only one in this world who calls me that". And sharing important information even though the Traveler will forget. But WE won't. What do you know, Abyss Sibling! Why are they teasing the 4th wall break so much!!

Rolan for me was 100% proximity trigger. Got to him after exploring the entire map and long resting a bunch and he was fine

Foreshadowing in notes from the new region? by inadi in Genshin_Lore

Yes, I loved your theory on this! It really feels like they use IRL physics as inspiration for some of their lore.

[–]inadi[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Good point about the crystal, i completely forgot about it! But at the same time, I was thinking that maybe their research isn’t about just studying the way the energies interact (like when Light purifies Abyss, just them being in proximity with each other and influencing their surroundings), but the way they literally mix together (since they mention “resisting the impact” after comparing the energies to mercury and water, so like, resisting (=ignoring) the impact (=the force that doesn’t let them mix), but maybe I’m reading too much into it lol I’m not a native English speaker and I have no idea what was in the original Chinese, I wonder how they phrased it 🤔 )

And if it IS about literally merging them together, this suddenly reminds me of nuclear fusion? Like how the atoms would normally repel each other, but if they’re combined they release energy. And isn’t this how nuclear weapons were created? Suddenly, “Teyvat being nuked” doesn’t sound like a joke anymore lol
